But it doesn't look as though there are tram lines going in - might have been metal reinforcements for dray carts?
I was reading about it a while back. No land or buildings were exempt really, just depended on what the military thought of a building and whether it could be used for defence or training (or obviously secret stuff!)
I wrote in a earlier post 'It was actually rebuilt in 1882, but kept the same name, originally being a wooden clad building'Well, I read that the pub there is about 1880s but it replaces an earlier pub on that site.
maybe I'll look on ebay for a missing pub statue!

Cant remember where I read that though
BTW fantastic pics xsunnysuex!
...with the same name...Hey, I don't read the threads....
I might have read it on the brixton society trail thingy...too..
so in case anyone wasn't paying attention the pub was build around 1880s replacing an earlier one!!!
It looks like the original was painted on to boards that have long since vanished.
^^That's a nice crack in that picture. Hope it's superficial. I'd have that seen to I would.
This use to be part of a off license as did the original building behind. It caught on fire and then the frontage removed. (Along with the rest of the building I think)
Isnt it a shame how history mostly ends up in a big hole somewhere...
